Five Minute Art Practice - Draw Kawaii

Image
Kawaii roughly means 'cute' and originated in Japan.  Art Practice Drawing Kawaii is good drawing practice. It is simple, easy and quick - and you can fit a drawing inside five or ten minutes a day. I have an A6 notebook I keep close but I usually do a doodle or two before bed. I have a Kawaii Pinterest board for inspiration/copying practice. Serious Kawaii  Drawing Kawaii has developed its own discipline due to its popularity, with formulae regarding cuteness, proportions and things like that. How to Draw Kawaii On my net wanderings I came across Kawaii Drawings by Tatyana Deniz. I was captivated. The tutorials are crisp and succinct. She makes things achievable....yayyy! I opted in for the free mini drawing email course but couldn't stop hopping about the site. Then I found a golden nugget. Tatyana's plan to teach herself to draw Kawaii in six months . How clever to work it out yourself! It is inspiring and motivating. There is even a cou...

Crochet Queen Zig Zag Blanket

Image
This post is for those who want to have a go at making a crochet blanket like this one... and Paula xxx... I was laid up in bed for a while and got into a serious crochet buzz. I made some blankets and Paula wanted to know how to do a zig zag / chevron one. People have different ways of doing them....this is how I do mine. I like to use a 3.5mm crochet hook and 8 ply / double knit yarn. This makes a dense, warm fabric. It is worked in a single crochet stitch. For a queen bed blanket I used 32 balls of 100g weight, which cost about $80 NZ using the cheapest stuff I could find. This amount of wool will accommodate tassels too which is a nice touch. The blanket is worked in one piece. I worked 8 rows of each colour (1 ball) for this blanket. I didn't plan a colour scheme - I just bought colours I liked and put them together as I went along. I bought around 10 x 100 balls at a time - all different colours. The blanket covers the foot of the queen b...
